Hello There!

Hey There!
I am a 25 year old;male.
I've been using porn since 15 (10 years).

Porn and Masturbation has had many adverse effects on my. It's been robbing me of my energy, motivation and confidence.When I masturbate, I fell lethargic and exhausted for days and since I've been masturbating regularly (at least two times a week), I feel like I have never been at my full potential mentally or physically.

I almost never feel like doing anything big and I keep on procrastinating.
And I want to change this...

I have attempted to quit several times before, but never succeeded. I don't know, maybe I've been doing it wrong. so I've decided to give NOFAP a go and see how things will go.

The reason I want to quit Porn and Masturbation is that so I can unlock the level of effectiveness and productivity that I know I can have, but is currently out of my reach cause my mind is preoccupied by pornographic urges and thoughts, taking away my precious time and energy.
I wanna quit P&M so I can become a step closer to the best version of myself.
I wanna quit so I can regain my confidence. to do big things and to have a better happier more fulfilling life.

My chosen reboot parameters:

• Duration: Since I believe in Starting small; I've decided to go porn-free for a week, Starting Tomorrow.
• Mode: Porn Is the gateway for Masturbation (at least for me). So I choose Hard mode.

By the way, I have the world's greatest girlfriend.She is kinda the reason why I'm here. I never thought I could tell anyone about my P&M addiction. I was hesitant about telling her at first, but not only she responded so kindly and openly, She's been really supportive ever since. I'm so glad I have her and I'm looking forward to getting her help and support along the way, too.

 

Thanks, bro! really appreciate it.

 

thanks! I'll check it out.

 

OK, I have relapsed :/
But here I am. Trying to be stronger and better than the last time.
Today is the first day of my new streak. Here we go!

Note to self: remember why you started. remember that PMO steals you of your valuable time, energy, motivation and self-esteem. you are here to regain this and redeem your life.
fall down seven times, stand up eight

 

I... Have.... Relapsed... so badly...
But I won't Quit. today is the first day of the rest of my life. I Start again today.
I should spend more time thinking about my addiction and my goals and why I should and I CAN quit it for good.
BTW yesterday was my birthday and I'm starting again... maybe that could count as something
I promise myself to write everyday and monitor my progress and remember the things that trigger me to relapse.

 

Ok. I have relapsed again.
Attempt #9, here we go!
I have decided to set a 7-day goal for myself instead of trying to quit indefinately. I CAN DO THISSS!!
